Recently the Mozdev board members have come to the conclusion though
that the needs of the community have changed and project hosting is no
longer a problem for developers. A number of free sites (github,
Google Code...) do a great job with this and the Mozilla Add-ons site
has evolved to become the hub for extension developers.
There is a small, but sizable amount of add-on developers that will
never move to AMO, and appreciate that MozDev is there as an
alternative. While hosting can be done elsewhere, it wouldn't be under
the Mozilla umbrella, and would be harder to find. MozDev is a good
aggregator of projects.
I second Benoit's points. There are plenty of Mozilla projects for
which add-ons are developed and hosted with MozDev that wouldn't find a
home at AMO. (Songbird being my obvious example there)
